Marc-Andre Barriault is preparing for a challenging fight against Shara Magomedov at UFC Abu Dhabi shortly after a knockout victory against Bruno Silva. Barriault, who views this as a peak moment in his career, expressed a strong desire to capitalize on current opportunities. Despite initial uncertainty about facing Magomedov stylistically, Barriault's confidence has grown, and he feels equipped to test himself against any opponent in his division. He is eager to return to training and embrace the challenges ahead.
The fight in Montreal was one of my best highlight of my career for sure. Less than 48 hours (after I got home) I was already on the phone with my manager.
At this point of my career I just want to make the most of it. I've been here like six years now. Kind of my peak right now and I'm super happy that the UFC gave me the opportunity to come here and fight with this guy for sure.
I'm not going to lie. At first I was kind of ok why they offer me this guy? Stylistically I was not like super excited at first.
The more I was thinking about the matchup, the fight, and also all the confidence that I gained from my last fight I was 'ok Markey, you belong here. You can fight with anybody in this division for sure'.
